[R.W.Ratikal]

Helen Thomas threatens to kill herself if she don't get her way. Typical liberal, she'll probably disappoint us by making promises she never intends to keep. Notice the arrogance or Thomas's part to think that anybody would care.

I don't know Helen Thomas except that she is supposed to be a famous Washington Press Corps reporter. I never read anything she wrote and I never saw her in public.

Still, I know that she is a lifelong supporter of the far left, a sort of Bella Abzug of the journalistic world.

Her threat to kill herself is incentive enough for Cheney to run.

"I don't know Helen Thomas except that she is supposed to be a famous Washington Press Corps reporter"

My understanding is that Helen was always the one asking the dingbat questions, which every administration found amusing... and that she was kept around as a tradition, for entertainment, like a jester in court.
